Quality seeds
All the seeds were live and plants are growing well since mid April.
Not much of blossom unlike other varieties planted nearby. And as a result from 10 shrubs we have about 15 tomatoes in late August.
Plants are tall up to 2m with heavy vines. Loads of greenery but very little fruit...
